Hey guys! Duffle back with another chapter of Tales of an Eevee Pack. Before we get started, I'd like to make a little announcement. Due to some irl stuff, I'm probably gonna slow down my upload schedule a little bit. Apologies to those who like Tournament of Power, I promise I'll upload a chapter of it tomorrow. But for now, my new schedule is going to be Eevee on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday while Tournament of Power is on Tuesday and Thursday. I'm just starting to have less and less time to do this kind of thing and I want to get into a schedule in which I can keep up throughout the summer and school. Anyways, enough of that, I hope you all enjoy and let's get right into the chapter!
Chapter 7: Prison Break Out
Jolteon POV
As Flareon and Jolteon were walked towards the city jail, Jolteon couldn't help but sneer. Of course, those who have evil motives would do a cowardly tactic like this. They were looking for help, but instead they were met with jail. Fantastic.
And the worst part of all of this was that Flareon was being a total jerk. Jolteon was ready to fight but noooo. Like I get they were disadvantaged, but they could've at least tried.
"Thanks, Flareon. Now we're gonna be in jail and we didn't even put up a fight."
"Look, I don't know what universe you live in, but unless Electric and Fire and super effective against Ground there you need to start actually thinking."
"We could've done literally anything else! But instead you gave up. Sometimes you need to step up and be the leader we all trust you to be."
"Shut up, Jolteon. What do you know about leadership?"
That ended the conversation.
Normal POV
The two Eevees had descended the stairs and were put behind their bars, left with two Krokoroks left to guard them. They used Stealth Rocks and scattered them around the jail, to make sure that they would really never get out. Flareon lay down on his back.
"Joy, stealth rocks."
Jolteon just went over to one of the beds and laid down.
"So what's the plan, oh Great Leader? We gonna wait here and do nothing?"
"Basically, yeah."
Jolteon sat up. "You have got to be kidding. You're gonna rely on the slim chance that someone comes and saves us?"
Flareon looked at Jolteon. "Do you think the rest of the Eevees are gonna leave without us? Just have a little faith."
Jolteon was tapping his paw on the bed.
Flareon sighed. "Look, I get it. You don't like to wait. But sometimes you need to in order to get the best result. You can't outrun everything, sometimes you need to dial it back."
Jolteon started growling a little bit and Flareon shook his head, putting it back on the ground. You guys better come quickly, I have a bad feeling about all of this….
Espeon and Umbreon were running through multiple people, trying to get to the market.
"God, where are they? They couldn't have gone that far!" Espeon and Umbreon were having trouble running through the crowd.
After a little while, they stumbled upon a shop, with 3 Eeveelutions standing in front of it. Espeon smiled and ran up to them. "Everyone! Oh my goodness, I'm so glad to see all of you!" Espeon looked around. "Wait, where is Vaporeon?"
Glaceon rolled her eyes. "She just said she was sick of us or something and ran off on her own. I think she's over there." Glaceon pointed towards one of the stalls where Vaporeon was standing alone.
Espeon looked back at the group. "Well, that doesn't matter. We need to leave for the jail, now."
Sylveon looked confused. "What? Why would we ever do that?"
Espeon got annoyed. "Flareon and Jolteon are in trouble, and if we don't hurry they're gonna end up dead!"
Everyone went wide eyed after that. Glaceon's expression then darkened. "Let's go."
Espeon nodded. "Umbreon, lead the way. I shall go talk to Vaporeon." Umbreon nodded and ran off with the other 3 in tow as Espeon ran up to Vaporeon.
"Vaporeon, we require your assistance. Flareon and Jolteon are in trouble."
Vaporeon looked at Espeon and then looked back at the store. "Nah, I think I'm good."
Espeon looked shocked. "Are you serious? Those two are going to die!"
"And I'm going to correctly assume that that's not my problem. I never liked any of them."
Espeon looked disgusted. "Fine. Don't help us. Do your shopping or whatever, but when we save them without your help, we're not coming back for you."
Vaporeon didn't respond.
"Tch. You were always a lone wolf, Vaporeon, but I never doubted that you were a good person. You and Sylveon were so close, but it looks like we were wrong to assume that you wouldn't just leave us for dead when given the opportunity."
Vaporeon looked back. "Espeon, I-"
"I don't wanna hear it." Espeon ran towards the jailhouse.
Vaporeon dropped her head down.
"Y'know, she's right." Vaporeon looked up at the shop keeper, a small Roggenrola.
"What? Please, as if you know our situation." Vaporeon shook her head.
"I don't need to know your situation. I do know that those two need your help, no?"
Vaporeon didn't respond.
"It's not about dealing with those you don't like. It's about supporting your friends in their time of need. You might be content with your life currently, but if you're gonna continue to be rude because of that, you might be content with the life you have afterwards."
Vaporeon gritted her teeth and sighed. "You know what, you're right. I'm going back there."
"That's good to hear. But before you go, why don't you take one of these?" Roggenrola pointed at a Mystic Water with his foot.
"A Mystic Water?" Vaporeon slipped it on over her neck. "Thank you very much, uh…"
"Just call me Roggenrola. Though if you do wanna get formal, it's ma'am."
Vaporeon sweat dropped. "Thanks a lot, Roggenrola."
She nodded. "Anytime."
Vaporeon ran off after her friends.
Espeon caught back up with the rest of the group. "Well, it seems Vaporeon has decided not to help us."
Sylveon looked surprised. "But why would she ever do such a thing?"
"If I knew the answer I would say, but alas I do not." Espeon closed her eyes.
Glaceon got a little mad. That jerk! She thought.
"Either way, we need to save the boys! Who knows how much time we have left?" Leafeon exclaimed.
Everyone nodded and rushed towards the jailhouse. The Krokoroks were still on guard, but Leafeon quickly took em out with Leaf Storm. Flareon and Jolteon's eyes quickly shot open as they saw their friends walk in through the door. Leafeon blew away the stealth rocks and started to unlock the cell door.
"Don't worry fellas, we're gonna get you out of here!" Leafeon said as the door opened up.
Flareon smiled. "Thanks a bunch, everyone! I appreciate the help."
Jolteon looked angry. "But that doesn't matter, that stupid Krookodile still has the Green Orb shards!"
"Why yes, I do have the shards!" Everyone looked back to see Krookodile and three Golems walking down. He started… clapping.
"I must say, my plan has worked absolutely perfectly! Not only do I have the Green Orb shards, but I also have everyone who is going to be a threat! My client is going to be very happy with me." Krookodile gave an evil grin.
Everyone got into a fighting stance. Krookodile just smirked. "You're all such fools… Very well, let's see how you do against all of us! Guards, take em out, all of them! But please, do try and keep at least one of them alive."
The Golems all charged at the Eeveelutions as Flareon fired off a Flame Burst. It hit all of the Golems, but they just smirked as they were barely affected. However, Jolteon quickly ran up and Double Kicked the Right Golem into a wall, ready to fight.
Leafeon blasted the Left Golem with a Leaf Storm, sending him flying. It got up relatively slowly as Leafeon tackled it down again.
Espeon and Umbreon started taking care of the middle one, with Umbreon dodging and taking hits from Golem as Espeon blasted it with Psychic. Eventually, Espeon's Psychic threw it back near the other Golems, and Glaceon blasted them all with Blizzard, freezing them and KOing them.
"Tch." Krookodile said. "It seems that my underlings have failed me once again. If you want something done…"
Krookodile unleashes a powerful Dark Pulse that knocked all of the Eevees down.
Krookodile grinned. "You do it yourself."
"Hey, you!" Krookodile looked back and saw Vaporeon at the door.
"Oh, looks like I missed one. Well it doesn't matter, I'll just take you out quickly enough."
Vaporeon had a determined look on her face. Flareon struggled to get up, but as he did, he saw the inside of his bag, which Krookodile had, was starting to spark. It suddenly unleashed bright green lightning which surrounded Vaporeon, making her unleash a powerful water attack.
"Tidal Wave!" Vaporeon sent out a wave of water, which surrounded Krookodile and knocked him out. Vaporeon helped up the rest of the Eevees and she looked at Espeon.
"Espeon… I'm… sorry about what I said earlier. I didn't really mean it."
Espeon smiled. "It's quite okay, Vaporeon. I'm happy that you decided to stick with us."
Flareon picked up his bag again and saw that the shard was no longer sparking. "Well, I think we should get out of here before these guys get up, what do you say?"
Everyone nodded and quickly escaped the jailhouse, leaving the Desert Oasis behind.
